Perfect Fade Self-Haircut In 5 Minutes | How To Cut Men's Hair 2021

[@AlexKouras]

Thanks for watching! What are two things you want to improve on from your last self-haircut?

[@FLiPpiNpRidE]

I legit saw your videos back in April when everything shut down as well as other barbering videos ... i bought my own equipment and taught myself after hours of YT lol and honestly I haven’t gone back to the barber since. Legit the best investment I’ve ever made. Time money and safer overall during this pandemic. As a healthcare worker I thank you!

[@somedude6267]

I did the same haven’t gone back since last March

[@FLiPpiNpRidE]

@@somedude6267 it makes you feel proud of yourself... people literally ask me "wait wtf, you cut your hair yourself? i couldnt even tell"... its. a good feeling lol

[@_______unknown_______]

Tye one who needs thanking is u ur the healthcare worker bro

[@FLiPpiNpRidE]

@@_______unknown_______ appreciate that man

[@alexsmith3156]

I have been cutting my boyfriends hair over the pandemic using your videos! Thank you so much for all of the great content. (He hasn’t gone back to the barber since 🤗💁🏻‍♀️)

[@Youtuber89329]

This one was short bro keep making content my dude!! We love it

[@Somewheredownintexas]

Your first video was great have been cutting my own hair every since, still struggle with point of crown at farthest back section but making progress.. great vids

[@mrj3217]

Great work man. Really helped me . This is my 2nd attempts and it looks solid. My first attempt I boched it a bit but was close. This time I nailed it .

[@jaypow7]

Nice job. I did my first fade yesterday and started with biggest guard and worked my way down the levels to no guard instead of going biggest to no to in between so thanks for the video i figured it was something like this.

[@joeluna2326]

You rock Alex. You the reason I can now cut my hair. Very decent. Thanks bro!

[@adolfovaldez2305]

Been following since your first tutorial bro. One of the main reason why I got to barbering. And you got a lot better.

[@queondacarlou5234]

Do you zero gap your clippers? Thank you for your vids! Been cutting my hair since last year.

[@Spookybozo]

Question, I got two yellow colored guards that are labeled A and B and they are 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm. Are these the halves of the standard 1 and 2 guards?

[@Omar-rq8yn]

1.5 mm is the half guard or the zero guard and 4.5 is the 1.5 guard

[@tylerphilbrook2917]

I have that as well but have no clue what your answer even means either so I’m fucked

[@jay__exotics2123]

What mirrors do you use? im debating on buying the self-cut system

[@FidoeFTW]

He uses a full length mirror from Wal-Mart and his bathroom mirror. He has a video that shows his mirror setup.

How do u get the back too part, you always already have that part short

[@thebluethunderbunny2324]

Alex, what brand of clippers could you recommend for someone who wants to try this?

[@killanige]

I'm doing this exact cut. Looks good

[@kerasoulakerasoula242]

BEST FRESH FADE

[@brandonabeita5325]

Could I still use the #1 guard or no guard if I dont have a 0.5gaurd

[@elitecenafan]

Alex, you should definitely upgrade your clippers to something like a Wahl Magic or Senior. The super taper doesnt do that good of a job when it comes to blending.

[@notfilipino1846]

As a guy about to start his own cuts, are the Wahl and senior the only ones I need?

[@cjames3029]

Bro you're awesome I think you're Greek too I'm going to give it a shot today and 34 hopefully I can do it the right way you made it look so easy but I don't know man wish me luck

[@Lukas-tc1tj]

Ist is not difficult to cut your own Hair on Top? Is it only training, just if u do it again and again, u can it better?

[@logansimios4743]

Amazing job

[@MrX-nc8cm]

Fresh brother! Thanks

[@cesarmarez2007]

Are ur clippers zero gapped?

[@MrVj-wh6ed]

It's really perfect bro 👌

[@joeluna2326]

What trimmers do you all recommend for accurate fading? My Walhs are ok but something missing to kinda perfect my fade. Also does not help I have peppered hair on the sides.

[@dev.1359]

I have peppered hair as well and it's such a pain in the ass trying to fade because the guidelines are near impossible to make and see with all the silver hairs. I've given up trying to fade and resigned to just giving myself a taper cut every time

[@andrewcox4068]

Hi Alex. I'm Andrew. I still don't know how to fade I use Phillips trimmers longer on top. And short on sides

[@josue4591]

What do you mean by lever open and lever closed, does open mean you lift the lever up, or does open mean you keep it down

[@mightyjigglypuff1598]

If you lift the lever up, you 'close' it. (It makes you cut off a little more hair than when it is open). So in this case, open means that you keep it down.

[@criptococo3172]

Thank you Alex, today I gonna get myself hair cut. By the way, you did yours very nice..see ya !

I'm an unlicensed and unexperienced barber but after watching your video it gave me the hope and courage I needed to just for it! Unfortunately I messed up bad and had to shave my head bald and just found out 6 months later that it's not gonna grow back. Thanks!

Can you do video on how to do a self textured crop?

[@omarEltrombonero310]

I wear glasses so its a bit hard for me to see lol eye sight is kinda bad so what i did is did a 1 all around and left the top hair alone to do a comb over lol came out ok lol

[@rebekahcarrillo9505]

Thank you! 💯💯🔥

[@HazmatEsports]

Awesome video, I'd love to see a tutorial on how to do a cropped fringe

[@kamronallred3292]

I dont have the 1.5 guard would it mess up everything if I skipped?

[@basimshah97]

You can use the 1 guard open and use the corners. Not all machines have the 1,5 guard. It depends on the lenght of the blade

[@janbadkamer3383]

Barber here, if you gonna cut your own hair, dont know anything about cutting hair besides watching tutorials, without a 1.5 guard you will leave lines in that fade, trust me

[@kamronallred3292]

Where can I buy a 1.5 guard

[@janbadkamer3383]

@@kamronallred3292 look up the clipper brand you have, 1.5 guard on google or something you should be able to find one for cheap, same goes for the 0.5 guard if you wanna fade from skin. If you are a beginner i would suggest you get those otherwise it will be too hard for you to get te guidelines out

[@kamronallred3292]

@@janbadkamer3383 tank u!

[@meand3786]

Nice one thanks 👍🏻🇴🇲

[@mlsterlous]

Do you know that there are clippers that dont have lever, so its always closed? Like my Braun HC5050. But the thing is, it worked really good, already after 1st time cutting my hair. I just followed another tutorial, where you start with the longest guard you want, like for example N4, and then gradually go down changing it to N3,N2,N1. Its all about right hand movements to get it look smooth :) This tutorial probably shows more professional and precise way, but the way i did it also ended up more than ok. Also my haircut is a bit different, no that short as yours.

Hey Alex! Thanks to your videos I could cut my friend's hair really nice. It was the first haircut ever, I have done. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm also going to learn to cut my own hair, cause I have got inspired by you =)

[@matthewjarrod2523]

Look people, his technique is good for him but very few can pull this off. Easy way using two lengths for beginner. Cut top using guard 12-16mm. Next put 9mm guard on for the sides. Have the guard perfectly level starting at the bottom and go straight up, never change the angle of the clippers, keep them parallel to the side, when you get to where the skull curves DO NOT change the angle. You see, as you go up your skull curves, by keeping the clippers the same throughout this upward cut, the top will automatically be faded due to skull curve. Do this all the way around your head. The fade will look good and perfect because you are using your skull's natural curve. The hardest part last, and this will take practice, is lining up around ears and back line. NOTE: Above guard lengths can be adjusted to how ever long you want. Tool used, Phillips Norelco 7000 multi grooming

Hi. This vid is full of knowledge. I've been trying to look for a KZbin vid similar to yours that really educates everything in this vid! 🧑🏻‍⚕️ 🧑‍⚕️Your tip for sure is similar to the videos of Dr. Ethan. Doctor's explanations are totally insightful and he really helped me a lot on my studies. He is an insightful medical student in Nottingham and he teaches health symptoms and diseases. You should really see his YT out and give the Doctor a like! 👉 #DoctorEthanMedLife
